CCV GOALS AND PRIORITIES



CCV GOALS AND PRIORITY ISSUES

At our initial meeting early in 2010, the Concerned Coastal Voters developed the following major goals for our organization to pursue:

1. To publicly present conservative views in a professional, factual manner and to counter misinformation where appropriate.

2. To research topics of interest at the national and state levels, and share the information among members of our group.
3. To identify and pursue the most effective venues for disseminating factual information related to our priority issues.

4. To expand membership of our group to like-minded persons regardless of their political affiliation.


Some of the Issues We Care Most About:


1. Free Enterprise Economy (e.g., fiscal responsibility, tax policies that promote growth of businesses, jobs, and general prosperity, elimination of unnecessary bureaucracy and regulation)


2. Limited, responsible, and responsive government.


3. Strong national defense, including border security.


4. Adherence by politicians and the courts to the Constitution and the rights of the individual. (e.g., civil rights, freedom of expression, right to bear arms)


NOTE: It's easy to have a copy of each letter/blog sent to you via e-mail. Just put your e-mail address in the "Follow by E-mail" slot (in the right column) and push submit.

OBAMA'S MONEY (Published in the Independent Coast Observer)


Progressives complain that Mitt Romney is raking in millions from corporate donors while President Obama is getting by on nickels and dimes from “regular” folks. Such statements are often buttressed with selected facts from that all-knowing and completely neutral source - - “The Internet.” Well, I checked with “The Internet,” who just happens to be a good friend of mine, and obtained the Federal Election Commission data that lists Obama’s top donors for the 2008 election. 
Suffice it to say that the top donors weren’t regular folks like you and me. To the contrary, corporations like Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Google, JP Morgan Chase, Time Warner, General Electric, IBM, Morgan Stanley, and other such “evil” entities were prominent among the top 20 donors. Major universities like UC, Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia also contributed huge sums to the hundreds of millions of dollars raised.
Not bad for a fellow who in the 2008 Democrat primaries vowed to take only public money. However, in all fairness to Obama, he willingly took the public’s money after being elected, lots and lots of it, and gave us less freedom in exchange. (See, for example, Stimulus, ObamaCare, Green Energy.)
Early in this 2012 campaign, Obama’s minions stated their ambitious plan to raise at least $1,000,000,000. I suppose that some people under the age of 8 or 9 may well believe in the Easter Bunny, but most of us do not swallow the propaganda that the President’s Billion Dollar campaign chest is going to be magically filled by regular folks donating their kid’s lunch money.
Let’s face it. These huge sums will be used to try to destroy the Republican candidate, Chicago style. That person had better be ready to fight the Obama money and the bias of the mainstream media securely ensconced in the President’s camp.
